Ranked as a top producer for the third straight quarter
From the window of Mike & Sons, my barber shop in Tribeca, come words that ring true, "I do not build my reputation, my customers do". It's simple, but meaningful business wisdom. Earlier in the week, I'd received a letter from Bruce Zipf, CEO of NRT which cited my sales performance in the top 1.6% of agents nationally, for the third straight quarter in a row— a growing practice, in a market that has been less exuberant recently. My business has been evenly almost divided between buyers (mostly in new developments), and sellers seeking a competitive advantage. I'm grateful for their trust and patronage. Updated May 29th, 2007

There are real concerns about global warming and health issues in our dwellings. Moving forward, the processes by which housing is developed, comes to market, and sustained, will be considered an integral part of the design form factor. Energy efficiency and sustainability are topics that owners, buyers and builders will be increasingly asking about.

Richard Meier On Prospect Park site party
above: the panoramic view from 'Richard Meier on Prospect Park'; see all my photos on flickr.
I spent the first half of my life in Brooklyn, and lived in Park Slope for a number of those years. My family and I still visit when we get the urge to get out of town— but not too far. All of downtown Brooklyn has been undergoing a transformation over the past decade, but never has its rise been more conspicuously evident than right now. It's a wonderful community, with world class cultural institutions like The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, BAM and what many consider Fredric Law Olmsted's finest work in Prospect Park. On Wednesday, there was a party overlooking Mr. Olmstead's work from inside one by a contemporary architectural star, Richard Meier On Prospect Park, the new building overlooking the iconic Brooklyn Public Library, Grand Army Plaza and with views across downtown Brooklyn to the river. This is one of the best park front building sites possible, in all of the five boroughs. It is destined to become a modern classic. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more info about it or other downtown Brooklyn homes.
